A Thankful Heart
You can’t fake a thankful heart, even if you say “thank you” or send a “thank you” note, (which, by the way, is still an excellent idea, even in the age of technology). Thankfulness permeates why you do things and how you do them. It emanates from a spirit of contentment rather than entitlement.
Thankfulness makes statements like–
“You are so thoughtful!”
“I can’t believe you did that!”
“You make me feel so special!”
“I’m the luckiest guy in the world!”
Thankfulness and humility go hand-in-hand. They expect nothing, appreciate everything, and value everyone. Thankfulness comes from the heart, creating pure joy.
Col. 2:6-7–“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”
